Nice look back at shipshape as it once was, and all that deck gear! mrdot.

Some more info about this class in german wikipedia:

@miraflores - Thanks, yes I missed the THURINGIA the last one built in 1967 I think.

6 sisters, there was also a Thuringia

Please note this ship had five sisters: ALEMANNIA,BAVARIA, BORUSSIA, HAMMONIA and the HOLSATIA

80t is more convincing now.

Fast ship - 21knots from 9cyl M.A.N.diesel engines giving 18900bhp.

All 7 units of this IA-class were fitted with an 80 to-Stuelcken heavy lift derrick.

Rgds.

Great shot

Mighty forest of derricks there!
